The Impact you will have in this role:

Being a Senior / Lead Engineer within the CISO organization, you will serve as a technical authority for DTCC’s Privileged Access Management (PAM) platforms. You will design, build, and operate highly available, secure PAM services across hybrid environments, ensuring privileged access is controlled, observable, and resilient.

This role plays a critical part in advancing Zero Trust principles by embedding PAM into infrastructure, cloud, and application workflows. You will lead by example—owning production outcomes, driving automation, and ensuring the platform is observable, auditable, and operationally sound.

Your Primary Responsibilities: 

• Design and evolve PAM platform architecture with a focus on scalability, resilience (HA/DR), and security-by-design.
• Drive platform maturity: Implement sophisticated capabilities (JIT access, session recording, credential vaulting, API integrations) and standardize onboarding of new systems.
• Implement and maintain end-to-end observability for PAM platforms using monitoring, logging, and alerting tools (e.g., Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, or equivalent).
• Governance & compliance: Establish policies for privileged account lifecycle, enforce password complexity and rotation, and ensure audit readiness for SOX, PCI, and internal controls.
• Automation & integration: Embed PAM into CI/CD pipelines and workflows; develop scripts and connectors for automated provisioning and session management.
• Operational excellence: Monitor PAM performance, lead incident response for privileged access breaches, and conduct root-cause analysis and remediation.
• Stakeholder engagement: Communicate platform health, roadmap, and risk posture to senior leadership; manage vendor relationships and licensing.
• Act as a mentor for other engineers—reviewing designs, code, and operational practices.
• Disaster recovery readiness: Participate in DR exercises and ensure PAM resilience in loss-of-region scenarios

Qualifications:

• Minimum of 6+ years of related experience
• Bachelor's degree preferred or equivalent experience

Talents Needed for Success:

• Strong experience in security/platform engineering or IAM/PAM.
• Strong PAM knowledge: privileged accounts, vaulting, rotation, and session management.
• Hands-on automation with Ansible, Python, PowerShell, or Groovy.
• Experience with Jenkins, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with REST/SOAP APIs and system integrations.
• Working knowledge of Windows, Linux/Unix, Active Directory, databases, and cloud.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Bravura PAM, CyberArk, or similar enterprise PAM platforms.
• Experience with advanced PAM capabilities including JIT access, ephemeral credentials, and API-based integrations.
• Knowledge of Zero Trust and modern privileged access architectures.
• Familiarity with cloud, Kubernetes/OpenShift, and PAM integration patterns.
• Experience with automation and DevOps practices, including Ansible, Jenkins, Git, and CI/CD.
